Got Weed?

First, let me explain the title of this post. I asked Luke, "What's a good title for our garden blog post?" "Got Weed?" was his response! hahaha He sure keeps things interesting around here!!


If you've been keeping up with our blog, you know from my post about 2 months ago that I started some vegetable seeds for a garden. Our wonderful, super-generous neighbors gave us 8 different types of organic veggie seeds. Of course, I should've planted these in the ground a LONG time ago, but we have just been so busy and out of town so much that we haven't gotten around to it. Yesterday, we FINALLY planted our veggies in the ground! Now I'm just praying that they will take to the soil (well, mostly clay) and actually grow into something we can eat!!


That's the tiller that our other awesome neighbor (who owns a lawn care business) let us borrow to get the ground ready for our garden. We (and by "we" I mean Luke) seriously would not have been able to do this without a tiller!


Jack "helping" Luke get the ground ready. Not sure how a golf club helps....but I'm sure somehow it does ;)

Luke mixing in some soil with our wonderful clay yard.

AAAnnnnd......the after picture!! That's our ghetto cheap way of making something for the tomato plants to grow up - hahaha! We had some lattice left over from a couple of years ago when Luke put some around our back deck. Thrifty (uhh....cheap), huh??

What's in our garden, you ask? Well, there's Sweetie Tomatos, Rutger Tomatos, Romaine Lettuce, Oakleaf Lettuce, Onions, Peppers, Okra, and Collards.
